Abstract

In continuous, reciprocal Fitts' Law tapping, movement timing and spatial accuracy control may be considered as two micro-tasks within an overall psychomotor task. Usually, timing demands are secondary while the spatial accuracy is stressed. In an experiment in which both timing and spatial demands were manipulated and equally important, subjects were required to divide available attention between these performance dimensions. Results are discussed in terms of current timesharing models.
